IN VIEW OF ELECTION RE.
SULT WILSON WILL PASS
QUESTION TO HARDING.
OUT OF EUROPE AFFAIRS
In View of the Overwhelming Rejec
tion of His Policies in the Recent
“Solemn Referendum” President
Will Leave Matter to Successor.
WASHINGTON, D. C . —President
Wilson is resigned to keep hands off
international affairs involved in the
treaty of Versailles for the remaining
weeks of his administration.
Positive indication of this attitude
came when it was learned that the
United States will withdraw from the
council of ambassadors at Paris, rep
resenting the principal allied and as
sociated powers.
President Wilson, it is declared, take
the view that only the incoming na
tional administration can interpret
what the American people decided in
the recent ‘‘solemn referendum’” as to
what America’s foreign policy shall
be. The mandate of the people as ex
pressed in the overwhelmingly election
of Senator Harding to the presidency,
Mr. Wilson believes, must be inter
preted by Mr. Harding.
To Keep Treaty in Desk.
Mr. Wilson cannot presume to in
terpret it, his close associates say,
and because of this view he proposes
to withdraw from the council of am
bassadors at Paris all American rep
resentation, so that the new adminis
tration will find foreign affairs as re-
Jated to the peace treaty, unratified
by tis country, as little involved as
possible.
The president’s decision is said to
mean that he will make no further ef
forts in behalf of the peace treaty of
Versailles, and will leave it in_ his
desk, where it now reposes, for Pres
ident-elect Harding to reflect upon
when he assumes office. Disclosure of
the government's attitude came fol
lowing an admission that the United
States would not be represented at
the forthcoming conference of allied
premiers in Paris to discuss the ques
tion of German disarmament.
Sums Up His Attitude.
Aside from the genera]l view taken
by the president regarding the re
sponsibility imposed by the American
people on the forthcoming adminis
tration, the consideration upon which
withdrawal from the council of am
bassadors will be based was summed
up here as follows:
The council of ambassadors was set
up for two main purposes, (1) to deal
with the question of performance by
Germany of the armistice require
ments; and (2) to deal with such
questions arising from the execution
of the treaty of Versailles as might
still require reatment by the allied
and associated -nations. The armistice
questions have practically all been dis
posed of; and this government par
ticipated in the deliberations concern
ing the execution of the peace treaty
in the belief that the treaty would be
ratified by the United States; but as
America has refused to ratify, the
treaty, there is no reason for it to
continue to be represented on the
council of ambassadors.
Among the problems in which the
United States has immediate interest
and must continue its association are
the communications -conference -and
the Rhineland commission. These
contacts, however, imply no political
considerations.

SETTLEMENT OF WILL CASES
OF FIELD AND MILLIKEN
INVOLVE MILLIONS.
CHICAGO.—OIId Chicagoans who
can still remember Marshall Field’s
rise to wealth are gasping over the
court’s award to the attorneys who
have been representing both sides in
the will contest just closed. To the
11 attorneys $960,000 is alloted in fees
alone. This is to be paid from an es
tate which is now appraised at $150,-
000,000.
The contests extended over a period
of 15 months, but few of the lawyers
appeared in court. The total cost will
be well above $1,250,000, court officials
said. This sounds like a war appro
priation, not a friendly contest, one
official added.
To the lawyers representing Capt.
Marshall Field are awarded $600,000.
These comprise Elihu Root, Stanch
field and Levy, of New York, and
John S. Miller and £dward C. Brown,
of Chicago.
$40,000 For Ex-Governor.
To John P. Wilson, representing the
trustees of the Field estate, $150,000
is warded; Frank M. McCulloch, as
sociated with Mr. Wilson, gets $50,-
000; Former Gov. Edward E. Dunne,
representing Henry Anthony Marsh,
the son of the actress, $40,000; J. F.
Dammann, representing the minor
children of Capt. Marshall Field, $20,-
000, and John S. Miller, jr., represent
ing Nancy Perkins Field, $lOO,OOO.
Capt. Field also receives $70,000 a
year after acting as a trustee of the
estate, and if he lives to the age of
50 he will have an enormous load of
.wealth to carry.
On the death of his brother, Capt.
Field decided to try and break the
will. It is the most drastic of trusts
and the entails aggregate enormous
sums. s
Sole Heirs Left. |
The two brothers were made heirs
of the residuary estate, Marshall Field
getting three-fourths and Henry Field
two-fifths. Marshall Field and his
children are now sole heirs. Attorney
Wilson, in his address to the court,
gave this view of the future of the
younger Marshall Field, who is now
26 years old: :
“When he is 30 he will receive one
sixth of the income from the estate,
about $500,000; at 35 he will get $l,-
200,000 a year; at 40 years $1,800,000
a_year, and when he is 45 he will be
given the entire accumulated income,
estimated at $90,000,000. At 50 he will
be given the whole estate. What -the
estate will be valued at then is prob
‘lcmatical. It is fixed as high as $500,-
000,000.” .
His sister Gwendolin, now in Eng
land, has the income of $8,000,000.
Peggy Marsh and her boy, Henry
Anthony Marsh, must so far he satis
fied with the $100,600 awarded her by
Henry Field before his death. This.
issue will go to a higher court.
Mrs. Nancy Perkins Tree, widow of
Henry Field and recently married to
Ronald Tree, is given a generous slice
of the Henry Field estate.
Milliken Estate Shrinks.
The value of the estate of the late
John T. Milliken of St. Louis, chemi
cal manufacturer, now remaining to
the heirs is '52,212,290, as shown by
the report of the appraiser named to
assess the state inheritance tax against
the estate. This report, filed in the
probate court, showed also that the
three executors had received $396,-
395.30 as commissions for administer
ing the estate, and that $300,000 had
been paid to attorneys, whose names
were not shown in the report. This
makes a total of $696,305.30 paid for
administering the estate up to this
time.
The three executors were John G.
Lonsdale, president of the National
Bank of Commerce, in which Milliken
was a large stockholder; Dr. Hanan
W. Loeb, dean of the St. Louis Umni
versity Medical school, who was Milli
ken’s family physician and lifelong
friend, and the National Bank ' -of
Commerce. The will provided that the
bank should receive one-half the ex
ecutor's fees, and that the other half
should be. divided between ILonsdale
and Dr. Loeb. Under this provision
Dr. Loeb and Lonsdale would each
receive more than® $99,000 of the fees
thus far paid. : -
- $300,000 to Attorneys. .
The attorneys who have done maest
of the work in the administration of
the estate, and who are believed, to
have received the greater. part, if not
all, of the $300,000 thus far paid in
attorney's fees, are Irvin V. Barth, of
4939 West Pine Boulevard, formerly
of the firm of ‘Leahy, Saunders &
Barth; Forest P. Tralles of Vinita
Park, and William R. Gentry of 5157
Vernon avenue, member of the firm
of Watts, Gentry & Lee. g :
Milliken died Jan. 31, 1919, at his
home, '}s Portland place. His will left
practically all his estate in trust for
his wife, son and two daughters. If
they should all die without heirs the
will provides that the estate shall go
to Washington University to found
scholarships.
Inheritance Tax $96,407. -
The value of Milliken’s estate was
estimated as high as $20,000,000 at
one time. The inheritance tax ap
praiser’s report names three estimated
valuations—the par value, $15,000,000
to $20,000,000, the net market value of
$8,400,905.95, and the sum remaining
for the family after payments of $6.-
1188,614.95, representing claims, execu
tors’ and attorneys’ fees. =

U. S. PEACH INSECT LABORA
TORY GIVES GEORGIA GROW
ERS ‘'TIMELY A‘DVICE.
Unfavorable weather conditions
have been the cause for very little
burning and cleaning up of woodlands,
brush and other hibernating places for
curculios adjoining and near peach or
| chards, Frequent rains during the win
|ter months have kept the vegetation
;and undergrowth near orchards damp
"so that it would not burn properiy,
‘and, furthermore, to date very little
'cold weather has occurred to prop
:erly kill out under vegetation. This
' burning over of all hibernating places
|adjoining and near orchards to destroy
*the adult curculios which would make
'the 1921 peach crop wormy must take
iplace before the buds normally start
to swell, as the beetles will lorsa}(e
|their winter hibernating places for the
trees at the first signs of the putting’
out of foliage. The time for this burn
ling is getting short, and growers
’should now take advantage of the hrst}
dry weather to burn over all wood
and .waste lands, terrace and fencc"
rows,. rubbish, pruning piles and any
other place near the orchard which
might serve as hibernating quarters
for ‘the beetles.
Orchardists are cautioned to have
sufficient supervision present during
this burning to prevent damage to
property, fences, telephone and tele
graph poles, etc. The thoroughness
with which this burning is done will
greatly influence the amount of worm
iness in the 1921 peach crop. Burning
is not recommended in the orchard
around trees, but all hibernating quar
ters in the orchard should be destr((?'-
ed by cleaning up and turning under
the vegetation. %
Agents of the United States depart
ment of agriculture attached to the
Fort Valley station have found hiber
‘nating curculios both’ in and near
peach orchards, very often being
found at the base of a mass of grass.
Many other beetles have been receiv
ed at the laboratory from growers
over the peach belt who have mistaken
them for curculios, when in reality
they were closely related species feed
ing on peas, or other forage plants.
Nevertheless, indications are that the
peach curculios are hibernating in and
near orchards in great numbers, and
will undoubtedly cause a great deal of
worminess to the.present peach crop
unless they are destroyed during the
winter by the methods suggested. A
word to the wise here should be suf
ficient.
Orchardists are again reminded of
the advantages of opening up the cen
ters of the trees during the pruning
operation and avoid leaving the laterals
and secondary branches too thick.
This will permit of a much better job
of spraying, and the proper air cir
culation and sunlight can be obtained
which is so necessary for coloring,
‘etc. We must prevent any kind of de
ciduous fruit trees from overbearing,
and cause it to produce uniform fruit.
This can only be done through proper
and intelligent pruning.
In spraying whether it be for scale
or during the growing season a much
more thorough job can be done if each
tree is finished before starting anoth
er. A negro laborer can always see
‘how much of a tree is covered when it
is wet with spray, and he will conse
quently keep spraying until all por
tions of the tree are wet. This is not
the case when one half of the tree is
sprayed at one time and then finished
when the sprayer returns in the next
row. When this method is practiced
the material on.the part of the tree
that has been sprayed at one time is
not always dry enough when the out
fit returns in the next row to finish
the tree to see just how much of the
trees has been covered,~and in this
way portions are often completely
lmisscd. Spray each tree thoroughly
from all sides and finish it before
maving forward to another.
In order to handle the curculio and |
brown rot problem this year it is go
ing to be necessary to do more spray-'
ing and dusting than formerly, and it
must be done more thoroughly. The
efficiency of controlling insects and
Idiseases by spraying or dusting de
pends primarily on the ability to ap
ply the chemicals at the right time.
It is therefore very essential to com
plete each application in a few days.
If the time of application is set for a
certain time the orchardist should be
able to get over his entire acreage in
less than a week to obtain successful
results. A great many growers in
the Georgia peach belt need more
spraying and dusting outfits to handle
their orchards. Their plantings are en
‘tirely too large to be handled with the
;spraying or dusting equipment here
tofore used. This matter should be
given serious consideration by all or
chardists, and preparations made to
have sufficient spraying and dusting |
machinery available to get over the
orchards”in a few days. A vigorous
fighit must -be employed this year if
we-wish to produce a peach crops and
we wish to produce a peach crop and
damage in face of the abnormal pests
conditions which now exist in the
Georgia peach belt. U. S. PEACH
